Quick answer
Choose Hip2Save's Must-Haves if you want a complete, minimalist makeup look curated by Meagan; choose The Welcome Set if you're new to MERIT and want to try core favorites in a limited-edition kit.
What makes each set different
Hip2Save's Must-Haves is a curated collection designed to give you an easy, everyday look with clean beauty staples. The Welcome Set, on the other hand, is a limited-edition set celebrating MERIT's arrival, featuring best-selling essentials ideal for first-time users or those wanting a streamlined routine.
Trade-offs to consider
The Welcome Set is priced lower (USD 86.94) and offers a more affordable entry point, but it's a limited edition and may not include every item you need for a full routine. Hip2Save's Must-Haves (USD 101.84) costs more but provides a more comprehensive set for a complete minimalist look. If you value having a curated routine from a trusted influencer, Hip2Save's set is better; if you just want to test MERIT's core products, The Welcome Set is a smarter choice.
How to choose between Hip2Save's Must-Haves and The Welcome Set
- Routine completeness: Hip2Save's Must-Haves is curated for a full minimalist look, making it ideal if you want everything in one box.
- Budget and commitment: The Welcome Set costs less (USD 86.94 vs. USD 101.84), so it's better for a lower-risk trial of MERIT's core products.
- Availability: The Welcome Set is limited edition, so buy it soon if you want it; Hip2Save's Must-Haves is a regular set available longer. If you're unsure, start with The Welcome Set and upgrade later.
